Every year, we gather at Po Kong Vegetarian Restaurant to celebrate culinary mushrooms. Po Kong notably has a menu that features many fungi, including stinkhorn, lion's mane, enoki, wood ear, and more. How it Works: We will reserve 50 seats, 10 people per table. Each person orders 1 mushroom dish and all the food is shared family style. After the meal, the bill is divided by 10 with your tablemates. The individual bill averages $20-30, not including beverages. Cash is preferred to limit our queue for a card reader. The restaurant is located at 1334 Kingsway, Vancouver, BC V5V 3E4 Street parking is available but limited. Please sign up to secure your spot: […]
Show Collection Urban Walk
If you don't have a car or are not planning on leaving the city to gather, a few of us will be conducting an urban survey on foot in Mt. Pleasant on Friday the 11th. We will collect specimens that we find and investigate connections between our city landscape and fungi. The group will meet at Riley Park Community Garden (50 E 30th Ave) at 11, and walk around the neighborhood before concluding at the Fish Counter on Main Street at around 1. If you would like to join us for this 2 hour walk, please let me know at president@vanmyco.com
